a Savanna traditionnel, 16 years tropical, 5.5 years continental, 4 months TDL 2008 finish...that's a statement! The nose has a typical Savanna profile with bourbon vanilla, overripe tropical fruits, pickled compote, caramel, polish. The TDL finish fits well here, as we're not looking at early 2000s menthol bombs here, but rather yellow fruits (although some freshness does come through). Mocha and leather on the palate, but also brutal tannins, which particularly characterize the finish. An interesting experiment, perhaps a few years less in the barrel would have been enough.
Great design, very interesting key data, a finish that makes you feel new, a very old Savanna. This could be something! And it will be something! Tropical fruit, even more dark fruit and a pleasant woodiness, plus leather. The consistency is smooth and creamy. The aromas are very intense, mouth-filling on the palate. The finish is also noticeable. The finish is of medium length. Very tasty, but also very expensive at over €200 for 50cl.
The nose immediately reveals strong fruit molasses notes. I would guess a Grand Arome here, with a very small Herr influence. Creamy, pronounced but deliciously integrated alcohol, full-bodied and round. Really delicious, for the price I'll have to think about buying a bottle.
Very special rum! Nose: Vegetables, Maggi, wood, celery Palate: Wood, vegetables, celery, light sweetness. Long finish, somewhat astringent. Overall, a traditional savanna only comes through briefly at the very beginning. For me, the rum is past its zenith, and it also has a distinct lack of vegetable notes. I can't really taste the TDL cask finish.
